Randi Weingarten Reps 1.7 Million Workers

Randi Weingarten is the first openly gay president of a labor union
in America. The president of the American Federation of Teachers,
Weingarten represents 1.7 million teachers, healthcare workers and
support staff across the country. Decades into organizing teachers,
she represents more people than some governors do. An intensely
private person, she talks with Art of Power host Aarti Shahani
about when she chooses to let her personal life come into the
public eye. They revisit her coming out story, as well as her
experience as a survivor of sexual assault. And Weingarten explains
how she’s won over billionaires and politicians (like Michael
Bloomberg) by always coming back to the table.
